Kesha & Taylor Swift’s Friendship Is More Than What You See On Social Media

You've seen their tweets and grand gestures for one another, but Kesha and Taylor Swift's friendship is more than meets the eye. In an interview with Rolling Stone that was released Wednesday, Kesha briefly discussed her relationship with T. Swift — and how real it actually is. According to the "Praying" singer, Swift "is a f*cking sweetheart. Very, very sweet, very, very genuine, extremely generous, picks up the phone every time I call her." She then added, "My mom doesn't even always pick up the phone!"

Based on her responses, it's clear that Kesha and Swift have a special bond behind closed doors. Though, the public has had a small taste of their friendship. It all started in February 2016 when the Reputation musician donated $250,000 to Kesha after a New York judge denied Kesha a court injunction that would have allowed her to record new music outside of Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records. A spokesperson for Swift said in a statement (via Rolling Stone), "In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time."

"I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this," Swift said in a statement from her rep released to Bustle at the time. "My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."

As for Kesha, she tweeted before Swift won her case, ".@taylorswift13i support you always, and especially right now and admire your strength and fearlessness. truth is always the answer."

Both Kesha and Swift have faced tough times — and publicly. So, their friendship makes sense. They can lean on each other when things get difficult. Even though their situations are different, they probably find common ground in what they've both had to deal with. Sometimes it's easier to work through an ordeal by talking with someone who can at least relate a little bit.

It's nice to hear from Kesha that her friendship with Swift is authentic — and that she has one more person who has her back when she absolutely needs it the most.
